A stunning collapse by Neal Lancaster produced an equally surprising winner in the Canadian Open in Markham, Ontario.
John Rollins got into a three-way playoff when Lancaster made double bogey on the 72nd hole, then ended it early by making a 20-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole for his first PGA Tour victory.
Rollins closed with a 7-under 65 to match Lancaster (72) and Justin Leonard (69) at 16-under 272.
Annika Sorenstam won her seventh LPGA Tour title of the year and ninth worldwide event, closing with a 5-under 65 for a four-stroke victory in the Williams Championship in Tulsa, Okla.
Using a new cross-handed putting grip, Sorenstam birdied four of the last six holes to easily hold off Canadian Lorie Kane with an 11-under 199.
Bob Gilder won consecutive events for the second time this year, holing a 2-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole with Tom Jenkins in the Kroger Senior Classic in Maineville, Ohio.
